LUCKY FOR hR. FORAKER.
1t was more lucky than unfortunate fol
Mr.. FoRAKER that CLEVELAND weather
did not prevail last night Why? The
answer is very plain. Had the gods above
been propitiOus Mr.. FORAKER would have
talked for hours. HewOuld have insulted
the intelligent Republicans Of Bridgeport
bv giving them bis patented harangue on
the south rs reason Why they should vote
for him for Governor OF Ohio. He would
have expatiated on the Rebel flags. Ash
the Governor OF Ohio had anything to do
with Rebel flags, or the flags any thing to
do with the issues of the campaign in
Ohio, OF anywhere else. Mr.. FORAKER
Was evidently loaded to the muzzle with
such boSh and intended firing il of in
Bridgeport As he has everywhere else be
has spoken. In the few dozen words he
did say 10 the little rain-SOaked gathering
be referred 10 President CLEVELAND as
sueakiDg through the country on IN owl
train. Mr.. FORAKER must have a poor
opinion of the intelligence Of the people OF
Ohio II be thinks such babyish talk as this
will elect him governor.
Does Mr.. FORAKER imagine that Ohio is
30 strongly Republican that he can safely
disgust thousands of sensible Republican
voters Does Mr.. FORAKER know that his
plurality in ~ WAS but l :, 9Ol and that be
lacked T.. lsl Of having a majority? Also
that he ran from 1,OOO 10 5000 behind
his ticket. And, also, in lSS5 he had not
demonstr strated quite so clearly ss he has
IN lsS7 that he is not ft to be Governor
o, a State like Ohio. A candidate who
resorts to the most transparent demagOg-
cry 10 hide his lack Of ability to discuss
live issues Is not it TO be elected to any
public trust. And furthermore, in 1855
FORAKEE had the full support of JOHN
SHERMAN and his friends, while this year
SHERMAN Is lukewarm and his friends are
secretly knifng FORAKER. To sum up,
Nr. FORAEER'S chances for a reelection
are decidedly slim. Let him fill Ohio
tuII Of his campaign badges OF which the
following viii give an idea:

J. B. FOEAEER
This hombasuc DOnssnse will not win
him one Independent or Democratic vote,
and it will drive away from him many a
sensible Republicans support.
The WEST is keeping up her reputation
Tor terrible railroad disasters. The Chats
worth horror has been Paralelled. This
time carelesSueSs on the part OF the train
men causes the accident. A passenger train
living On the track is crashed into by =
special cattle train, three cars teleScOped,
and twenty-five souls hurled into eternity.
The railroad officials are using every means
within their power to keep the details OF
the affair from being known. 1t behOOves
the proper authorities TO carry through a
searching investigation OF the matter.
Public opinion demands that such another
farce upon justice he enacted As in the in
yrstigatiou u'thc Chatsworth accident
A ArDlL otthe delegates Of the X. Of l..
General Assembly show that the great ma
jority are opposed to independent political
sction on the part OF the working men.
HENEy GEORGE and his wild ideas are re-
pudlat-G by the conservative men Of the
order. Mr. PowpERLY shows wisdom
when he advises his associates TO select
one or two important measures and urge
their consideration upon Congress. A dis
tiayt political party based upon class, and
striving 70 secure class legislation, Is De
structive 70 the principles Of Democratic
GOV. .rumcut. whether it be in favor Of aris-
tO,rlJ- OF iahOrerS.
